Interesting tension. Are 1/1s worth giving opponents more cards? Maybe not, but that doesn't mean this card doesn't have big potential. It generates a ton of value for you and even a Psychosis Crawler changes the scenario for your opponents significantly. And the tokens themselves can be weaponized with ETB effects and/or sacrifice outlets.

You definitely need to build around it because it can give an advantage to an opponent, but the right decks with the right political plays and I think Xyris is great.

Well, you do have hand flooders like Forced Fruition which punish them for playing spells for example. Run cards like Storm Seeker and Sudden Impact, as well as Vise-type cards and you have a decent strategy to work with. Perhaps.
